예식일 : New York City's iconic Dyker Heights Christmas lights are back
문의내용: Trees are up, wreaths are hung and stockings are beginning to fill - but nothing says Christmas like the switching on of New York City's iconic Dyker Heights lights.

The dazzling, over-the-top displays of ornaments, inflatable Santas and thousands of lights are back bedecking the homes in the Brooklyn neighborhood. 

dropdown-profile_bg.jpgStunning photographs capture the sheer scale of the festivities, with giant snowmen sat on lawns, reindeer climbing roofs and nutcrackers banging drums. 

An estimated 100,000 people flock to Dyker Heights Blvd to see the displays each year - but not everyone is a fan, with some residents calling the displays an 'eyesore' which draws unwanted crowds to their streets. 

The decorations are usually put up after Thanksgiving and stay through until the first week of January. 

The tradition started in 1986 with a single home owned by Angelo and Lucy Spata. Each year for the past four decades, the displays have grown bigger and bolder as residents compete to outdo one another and have the best show on the street.




Dozens of nutcrackers line the walls of one Brooklyn home while lights cover ever inch of the bricks, as visitors stop to take photos of the festive display - each year an estimated 100,000 people come to see the displays





A shining red Santa an his elves have stopped to visit one house complete with festive light up presents and glittering fairy lights. A lit up wreath adorns the roof of the house while festive garlands are wrapped around the balcony railing





A nutcracker dressed in a smart red uniform with a matching hat leads a procession of a marching band complete with drums and a reindeer bedecked in ribbons outside a house with large antlers





Some residents go for more pared-back displays - at this house the owners opted for simpler gold lights shaped like snowflakes and shooting stars dangling from trees, with large wreaths around some of the windows





Giant candy canes flank the entry to one house in Dyker Heights while a frightening Jack Frost figure with light up eyes guards the steps. A sign wishing visitors a Merry Christmas hangs above the front door





A fiddle-playing elf parties with Mary and Joseph and the three wise kings in an eclectic nativity scene on the balustrade of one home, while a chorus of three angels looks on and other elves lean on a sign welcoming onlookers to the North Pole 





A giant snowman dressed in a warm jacket, silver waistcoat, festive red and green scarf and top hat greets some visitors with Santa towering over the porch. Most residents turn their lights off around 9pm, so as not to use too much energy





One family went for a monochromatic green color scheme, with the lights wrapped around every branch of their trees and completed with bright gold snowflake bursts like a giant Christmas tree 





Next door, Santa was making his naughty and nice list ready for 해머캔디 presents to be bought in the next few weeks - the street has earned its title as one of New York's must visit Christmas attractions 





One classy display had a giant nutcracker complete with a rifle and fur beard guarding the front door - six smaller drummers line the wall steps on either side while the residents have tied golden ribbons to their lights





The rest of the house was tastefully decorated in a few golden snowflakes, covering the bricks and lighting up the windows of the house





The giant Jack Frost house takes a spookier approach to their Christmas display with the frightening figure reaching out an ominous arm to passersby - some of the houses also put on festive Halloween displays





In a homemade Santa's grotto, elves prepare toys and hammer wood on a makeshift bench ready for Christmas. Children's toys displayed on the shelves behind the elves include wooden trucks and plastic trains





Giant gingerbread men welcome visitors on the lawn of one house, complete with human-size candy canes and red Christmas tree baubles. The owners put out festive 'Grinch' signs reminding visitors to keep off their grass even if they want to take photos





Over 100,000 visitors flock to capture the scenes each year it is estimated, with food trucks set up to offer refreshments - the streets are busy at this time of year and some residents resent the crowds flocking to the neighborhood





Some more minimalist residents opted to just have a few smaller decorations and light up trees - most of the houses put their lights up after Thanksgiving and leave them until January but some start even earlier





Neighbors race to out-do each other every year with the displays getting increasingly bigger and bolder - the tradition started with just one house in 1986 and has been scaling-up for the past four decades





One house draws particularly large warmly dressed crowds with its extensive collection of figurines and lights wishing visitors 'Merry Christmas' - many families bring young children to see the displays
